Review
NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST
"A fine mix of compassion and precision.... Verghese makes indelible narratives of his cases, and they read like wrenching short stories."--Pico Iyer, Time "A richly textured portrait of a small Southern town.... Immensely moving. In describing his own odyssey as a healer, Verghese displays rare candor and eloquence."
--USA Today "Memorable.... Fascinating. We come away from My Own Country with an abiding admiration for the good and compassionate work Dr. Verghese has conducted."
--Michael Dorris, Los Angeles Times "Remarkable.... An account of the plague years in America. Beautifully written, fascinating and tragic, by a doctor who was changed and shaped by his patients."
--Perri Klass, The New York Times Book Review
